Birth dates and biographies of Victoria, David, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven Victoria and David’s birth dates: Victoria Beckham, born 17 April 1974 David Beckham, born 2 May 1975 Birth dates of Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven: Brooklyn Joseph, born 4 March 1999 Romeo James, born 1 September 2002 Cruz David, born 20 February 2005 Harper Seven, born 10 July 2011 Victoria and David - becoming Posh & Becks Bursting into our consciousness in 1994 when she joined the now iconic girl group The Spice Girls, Victoria (then Adams) was nicknamed Posh Spice after her love of glossy high-end designers and her slick bob hairdo. Victoria first met David Beckham, who was the star football player for Manchester United at the time, in 1997 after he asked to be introduced to Victoria as he had a crush on her! The couple were quickly dubbed 'Posh and Becks' and became the new celebrity power couple. Victoria's pregnancy with Brooklyn Victoria announced that she was pregnant with her and David's first child in 1998.

Victoria admitted at the time that she was surprised she fell pregnant by accident during a Spice Girls tour, as she had previously suffered from Polycystic Ovaries (PSCOS). Posh admitted that she suffered terrible morning sickness while on tour and she also revealed that her pregnancy cravings included craved pickled onions, marmite on toast and fruit pastilles. Brooklyn Victoria and David welcomed their first baby, a boy named Brooklyn, in March, 1999, at the Portland Hospital, London. Baby Brooklyn weighed 7lbs and was born via an emergency caesarean apparently because Brooklyn's head wasn't properly engaged. The Beckhams' baby name choice raised a few eyebrows at the time and they later revealed that they conceived their son whilst in Brooklyn, USA! "I like Brooklyn as a name - it's quite different - but you couldn't do it all the time. It wouldn't work if you were somewhere like Moscow," Victoria said at the time. After Brooklyn's birth, Victoria lost a lot of weight, which drew criticism. "After Brooklyn was born I lost a lot of weight. From being Podgy Spice pre-Brooklyn I had become Skeletal Spice.

What upset me was that I ate like any normal person, but I lost weight," Victoria said at the time. Brooklyn is reportedly quite shy and seems quite protective of his mum when out and about. He's also an avid football fan. In 2016, Brooklyn was briefly dating Hollywood actress Chloe Grace Moretz. He also revealed he's a budding photographer, shooting a campaign for fashion house Burberry. Read more about Brooklyn: Victoria and David get married The couple got married 4 months after the arrival of Brooklyn in 1999. Victoria and David wed in a lavish ceremony at the Luttrellstown Castle in County Dublin, Ireland. The wedding ceremony saw them sitting on golden thrones and allegedly cost Posh and Becks around £500,000. Victoria's pregnancy with Romeo In 2001, Victoria announced that she was pregnant with her 2nd baby - and it was Brooklyn who they 1st told the happy news to. "I told him I was pregnant, then I sent him over to David to tell him the secret.

I was in tears as he toddled over to his daddy and said, 'Mummy is going to have a baby.' I hoped it would make him feel he is involved with the new baby," Victoria recalled at the time. The guessing game began after Victoria's pregnancy announcement, with everyone wondering where they'd conceived their baby and whether they'd use it as their next baby name choice! It was also revealed that Posh craved smoked salmon during her 2nd pregnancy. Although Posh wasn't very vocal with the press during her 2nd pregnancy, she did reveal that she "loved being pregnant and I like giving birth - oh, I love it." However, David cheekily interrupted, telling her: "You had a caesarean. You didn't even feel it." Romeo Victoria gave birth to her 2nd baby, another boy, named Romeo. They didn't say the reasons behind the name choice, but David did reveal that "Romeo has Brooklyn's nose and Victoria's chin," when he spoke to the press outside the Portland Hospital, London, where Romeo was born. Romeo weighed 7lb 4oz and was born via caesarean by doctors orders.

The Beckham family moved to Spain in 2003 when David was transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Romeo has definitely inherited his dad's model looks and his mum's pout! Although his parents let his hair grow really long when he was a baby up until he was a toddler, his floppy locks and dapper sense of style gives Suri Cruise a run for her money after he made it onto the Best Dressed Man list at the age of 8. Now a teenager, Romeo's got quite the modelling career ahead of him - having already starred in several campaigns for fashion house Burberry. Victoria's pregnancy with Cruz In 2004, just after David was hit with claims that he had an affair with his personal assistant, Victoria and David announced they were expecting their 3rd baby. The pregnancy was very low key and Posh hid her baby bump and rarely spoke about her pregnancy. Cruz Victoria gave birth to another boy in February, 2005, and they named their 3rd son Cruz. Born in the Ruber Internacional hospital in Madrid, the couple opted for a Spanish name which means 'Cross'. Cruz is traditionally a girl's name in Spain.

Cruz appears to be a cheeky chap and when growing up was regularly seen in his dressing up garb - from Wolverine, an astronaut to a Transformer - all while pulling a goofy smile for the paparazzi. During the Spice Girls' tour in 2009, Cruz took to the stage and broke into an impressive body-popping, break dance - much to the delight of the crowd. Victoria revealed the cheeky side of Cruz when he was 5: "We're all learning sign language because one of our friends is deaf. So, of course, the first thing Cruz wanted to learn was how to say, 'I have gas,' and the 's' word. He also wanted to know what other swear words were." It seems Cruz's passion for music has continued with him throughout his life. In December 2016, he signed to Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun and released his first single, If Every Day Was Christmas, for charity. Aww!

Victoria's pregnancy with Harper Seven After much speculation of a 4th pregnancy, what with Victoria admitting she was broody and her allegedly exhausting David with her baby-making plans , on 9 January 2011, David confirmed Victoria was pregnant with their 4th baby. Apparently, it caused David to shed many tears of happiness . Gossip abounded as to whether the couple would get their much-wanted baby girl. Posh and Becks never shied away from talk that they'd like a little Beckham girl and were delighted when they found out they were indeed expecting a girl. Like her other pregnancies, the guessing game on what the Beckhams' would call their 4th baby was in full swing. It's a relief to know David and Victoria didn't listen to their son's suggestion - Justine Bieber ! Rumour had it that Victoria had her eye on her dream buggy - an iCandy Apple - and was designing her house ready for the arrival. She also had a pink-themed baby shower thrown for her by her A-list actress bestie, Eva Longoria. Harper Victoria gave birth to her 1st daughter, Harper Seven , on 10 July 2011.

The choice of baby name reportedly boosted book sales of Harper Lee's classic To Kill A Mockingbird. Harper has always been dressed impeccably since birth , and has been Victoria's frequent companion at fashion shows as her mum's fashion career has taken off. She's rocked many designer looks, including Marc Jacobs wellies and Vivienne Westwood jellies . Beckham baby: Why the middle name Seven? - BBC News BBC News Beckham baby: Why the middle name Seven? By Caroline McClatchey BBC News Magazine 11 July 2011 Read more about sharing. Close share panel David and Victoria Beckham have named their fourth child Harper Seven. Does their unusual choice of middle name reflect a modern trend? The Beckhams' sons are Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David, but for their first daughter, the celebrity couple have decided to hold back on her first name and go freestyle for her second. As with the birth of their boys, the papers and internet are buzzing with theories on why the Beckhams chose Harper Seven. Harper has become an increasingly popular name in the US, where the family are now based.

It was the 887th most popular for a girl in 2004 but rose to 119 last year. Image caption The Beckhams knew they were having a girl Seven has been the focus of speculation. There are suggestions it was because she weighed 7lbs 10oz, arrived at 0755 LA time and was born in the seventh month, but the number also has great significance for her father, who played number seven shirt for Manchester United and England. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a middle name is a forename other than a first name, occurring between a person's first name and surname. So "middle name" embraces both a maiden name retained in the child's name as well as an additional "Philip" or "John" after the first name. Naming conventions vary from country to country but in the English-speaking world, middle names are often a relative's name, usually old-fashioned and highly embarrassing, or a family surname. There can be more than one. British musician Brian Eno is actually Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, while Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland is Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland.

Julia Cresswell, author of several books including Naming Your Baby, says middle names were not as common in the past. She says they were a "status thing" and if a husband married a better-connected wife for instance, they made sure her surname passed to their child. "It tended to be used by those who had family connections. "It then became a classy thing to do to give more than one name to your child. People have had middle names for centuries but it is only since the 20th Century that it's become the norm for nearly everybody." Celebrity middle names Elton Hercules John - British singer/songwriter Jennifer Love Hewitt - US actress Emile William Ivanhoe Heskey - English footballer Hugh John Mungo Grant - British actor Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson - Harry Potter actress She points to the Royal family, with their "stream of names", as a good example of it being an "upper-class thing" - Prince Charles is followed by Philip Arthur George, while Prince William also has the names Arthur Philip Louis. But Cresswell says their purpose has now changed. "Growing populations and growing mobility mean you need to distinguish yourself. That's why we use so many different first names these days.

There were only a dozen names in regular use in the distant past. "If you Google John Smith, you get hundreds of hits. Google John Seven Smith and you are not likely to find more than one." A middle name can be a good safety net if a child hates their first name. And sometimes the initial letter of a middle name becomes very much part of the person, such as former US President George W Bush. Image caption Lucky number Seven? A girl after three boys Family psychologist Dr Pat Spungin says some people adopt their middle name to mark a new chapter in their life or because it is a better representation of "the new them". The Beckhams are not the first to call their child after the lucky number Seven - US rapper and actor Andre 3000, also known as Dre, has a son called Seven. In the TV comedy Seinfeld, George Costanza wanted to call his baby Seven. And Cresswell points out that there was a character called Seven of Nine in Star Trek Voyager, but she doesn't "have the Beckhams down as Trekkies".

Harper Seven Beckham: David and Victoria name their baby girl | Daily Mail Online Victoria 'doing well' after welcoming fourth child Sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz 'excited' to meet their new sister The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge send message of congratulations Emma Bunton and Mel B tweet their congratulations to Victoria After months of speculation, David and Victoria Beckham have announced they have decided to call their little girl Harper Seven Beckham. David confirmed the news on his Facebook page after he and wife Victoria welcomed the baby, who weighed 7lb 10oz, at 7.55am yesterday morning. The footballer wrote: 'I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.

New addition: David and Victoria Beckham have welcomed a new addition to their family, a 7lbs 10oz baby girl 'Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx' The Seven in the name is believed to be a reference to David's football number when he played for Manchester United and England, while the Harper could be referring to Harper's Bazaar magazine or perhaps To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee. RELATED ARTICLES Following the birth of the couple's fourth child, a spokesperson said: 'David and Victoria Beckham are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter. ‘Happy and healthy she arrived at 7.55 am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family.' The child was born by elective Caesarean, in the same way as the Beckhams' older children. The original: David posted a picture of wife Victoria having a rest on the beach before she gave birth to daughter Harper Seven WHAT'S IN A NAME? Friends close to the couple have said that Harper, an old fashioned English name, is one that Victoria has always liked.

It could be a reference to To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee or even the fashion and lifestyle magazine Harper's Bazaar, the cover of which Victoria has graced on a couple of occasions. It has proved to be a popular name in the U.S. and other celebrities, such as Foo Fighters Dave Grohl, Lisa Marie Presley, and Neil Patrick Harris have named their daughters Harper. As for the middle name Seven, it has been considered a lucky number for thousands of years among many cultures. In the Bible, there are the seven days of creation, and ancient Rome had seven gods, which gave their names to days of the week. But the most likely reason the Beckhams chose it is because it was David's shirt number at Manchester United and for England. Harper was also born at 7.55am, during the seventh month and weighing 7lbs 10oz. And a source told The Sun that David was so happy about the new arrival that he was literally crying with joy. The insider said: 'David has been crying with joy. They are all so happy.' The pair are also said to be 'stunned' because the little girl looks so much like Victoria did when she was a baby.

Following the birth of the little girl, David's sister Joanne tweeted: 'Big congrats to my sister in law @victoriabeckham and my big bro on the birth of my beautiful niece :) can't wait 2 see u all xx' A delighted Mel B, who is expecting her third child later this year, also expressed her excitement on the network site, writing: 'Congrats!!! Yipeee another spice baby is born, damn it wish it was me this AM cos I feel like I'm about to POP!' And Emma Bunton added: 'Big kiss to @victoriabeckham can't wait to meet your gorgeous little girl!' Victoria has remained active throughout her pregnancy - working on her fashion line and travelling up until last month. Just days ago the LA Galaxy star, 36, posted a portrait of his heavily pregnant wife that put her form on show in all its glory. He wrote on his Facebook page: 'Took this pic of Victoria while she wasn't looking. She looks amazing, so close now to the baby being born!' And, earlier this week, David and Victoria were wished good luck for their arrival by Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

David attended a drinks reception welcoming the royal couple to Los Angeles, but Victoria was absent from the event given that she was so close to the end of her pregnancy. The footballer told Prince William: 'Victoria really wanted to come but she is just so tired at the moment. She sent you both lots of love. How was Canada? It looked amazing.' Prince William replied: 'Don’t be silly, send her all our love and tell her good luck with it all. It’s been an amazing few days – we’ve been so lucky with all the incredible places we’ve been able to see and we’ve met so many fascinating people. It’s been amazing, amazing.' It's getting close! David was on the field for LA Galaxy yesterday ahead of his wife giving birth Excited: The couple's children Brooklyn and Romeo were there to cheer their dad on And, following the birth, William and Catherine were quick to send a message of congratulations to the Beckhams, according to their press secretary Miguel Head, who added they were unlikely to have time to meet the new arrival. David also spoke about the media frenzy surrounding the birth of his first daughter.

He said: 'I woke up on Wednesday to a tonne of messages on my voicemail from our friends congratulating me on the birth of our daughter. 'I turned to Victoria and said: “Did I miss something?” Apparently it’s being reported every day that she’s already been born. One way or another, fingers crossed, she’ll be with us in the next few days.' Congratulations: David's UK-based sister Joanne was quick to take to her Twitter page to offer her congratulations Spice love: Emma Bunton offered her congratulations to the Beckhams on their new arrival My turn! Victoria's former Spice Girls bandmate Mel B said congratulations but said she wanted to be the one to give birth The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, 37, has often hinted at her desire for a daughter, saying in one interview that should could imagine “painting her nails, putting on make-up, and choosing clothes” with her. Last year she said: ‘Everyone keeps asking me if I would like to have a little girl and I think, at some point, if I am lucky enough to have another baby that would be great.

If I am blessed enough.’ The couple’s main home is a £14million mansion in Beverly Hills but the couple have yet to decide where they will live once his contract with LA Galaxy expires in November. Speculation had mounted that they would return to the UK after they put on hold plans to sell their £18 million home - ‘Beckingham Palace’ Hertfordshire. Going solo: David attended a drinks reception to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Los Angeles earlier this week and was wished luck for the arrival by the royal pair Victoria recently gave a frank appraisal of how she and her husband differ in their view of life in Los Angeles. She said: ‘He misses European football. But America really works with my personality.’ The couple first met in 1997 and became engaged a year later before having first son Brooklyn - famously named after the place where he was conceived – in 1999. Four months later, the Beckhams enjoyed a sumptuous wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland, with the couple much ridiculed for opting to sit on golden thrones.

Growing brood: Victoria and David are already parents to sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz The couple have become one of the biggest brands in the planet with an array of endorsement deals and are now worth an estimated £150 million. Second son Romeo was born in 2002 and Beckham left the UK in July 2003 when Real Madrid paid £25million to sign him from Manchester United. His wife chose not to move to Spain until the following year choosing instead to focus on a solo career after the demise of the Spice Girls. Building up: Victoria was last seen out with David in Las Vegas on 29th June David announced he was transferred in July 2007 to LA Galaxy and they moved to Beverly Hills where the boys have been attending a prestigious private school ever since. Victoria has carved out a successful design career and her dresses are now a favourite with Hollywood stars. And bets of what their little girl will grow up to be are already being placed and the Irish bookmaking firm Paddy Power has offered odds of 100:1 on Harper following in dad’s footsteps and going out for the England Women’s team.

The odds of her becoming a singer in the mode of her former Spice Girl mother are 16:1.

David Beckham - Biography - IMDb David Beckham Biography Showing all 80 items Jump to: Overview (4) | Mini Bio (1) | Spouse (1) | Trade Mark (2) | Trivia (46) | Personal Quotes (26) Overview (4) 6' (1.83 m) Mini Bio (1) David Beckham is one of Britain's most iconic athletes whose name is also an elite global advertising brand.

He was captain of the English national team from 1998 to 2009, scored in three different FIFA World Cups, and played midfield for clubs in Manchester, England, Madrid, Spain, and Milan, Italy; he also won the MLS Cup playing for Los Angeles Galaxy in 2011 and 2012. He was born David Robert Joseph Beckham on May 2, 1975, in Leytonstone, East London, England, to Sandra Georgina (West), a hairdresser, and David Edward Alan "Ted" Beckham, a kitchen fitter. Beckham's maternal grandfather was Jewish, and David has mentioned the religion as an influence; he wears a tattoo written in Hebrew from the 'Song of Songs' in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), albeit he is not known to practice Judaism or any other faith. Beckham has always played in long sleeve shirts to cover up his tattoos in consideration of others who may feel uncomfortable due to their beliefs. He was brought up by his parents, supporters of Manchester United, attended Bobby Charlton 's football school in Manchester, and won a spot in a training session at FC Barcelona as a child.

In 1986 he was a Manchester United's mascot for a match against West Ham United. From 1992 - 2003 Beckham made almost 400 appearances for Manchester United and scored 85 goals, although his official record counts only 62 goals in 265 official senior team's matches. In the 1998 FIFA World Cup he played all of England's qualifying matches and scored in several important victories. He received a red card for violent conduct in England's match against Argentina, albeit his opponent later admitted to trying to send Beckham off by over-reacting to their contact during the game and by urging the referee to send Beckham off. After losing the game England was eliminated, Beckham was made a scapegoat and became the target of criticism and abuse in media. He had a good season in 1999 - 2000 and helped Manchester United to win the Premier League. At that time, he married singer Victoria Beckham (nee' Adams) from the popular musical group The Spice Girls, and the couple had their first son, Brooklyn, born in 1999.

That same year, Beckham was given a permission to miss training routine, in order to look after his son Brooklyn, who suffered from a stomach infection. Meanwhile, the Manchester United's manager, Alex Ferguson , fined Beckham £50,000 (about $80,000 then) the maximum amount that was permitted, for babysitting with his sick child, while his wife was spotted at a London fashion Week event on the same night. Ferguson's claim that Beckham should be able to train if his wife stayed home that day, caused a serious personal tension between two men. In February 2003, following the defeat to Arsenal, the Manchester United's manager Alex Ferguson entered the changing room and kicked a football boot that struck Beckham over the eye, causing a cut that required stitches. David Beckham has been a good scorer and a major attraction for public. On the field he has been demonstrating his consistent ability to see a big picture even under severe pressure during the most rapidly changing and unpredictable games. His field vision has been remarkable, allowing him to create many assists in a number of important matches. Beckham's forte has been his delivery from the right-hand side as well as his efficient free kicks.

His superior performances in the midfield position has required a higher physical endurance through the entire game. "David Beckham's right foot" was mentioned, although humorously, as one of British national treasures in the movie Love Actually (2003). He signed a four-year contract with Real Madrid, beginning on July 1, 2003, and worth a potential 40 million dollars. In Madrid, Beckham was not allowed to wear his favorite number seven, because another player had the right to wear it written into his contract. Beckham decided to wear the number 23 instead, being a big fan of Michael Jordan . He immediately became popular with the Real Madrid fans, but the team did not perform well enough to win either the Spanish League or the Champions League. However, Beckham remained a reliable scorer and his performances attracted more public. His shirts sales and other merchandising deals remained lucrative for the club, which continued to under-perform, regardless of the Real's management's higher expectations. In 2005 Beckham became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He was also involved in promoting London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games.

His third season in Madrid was unremarkable, and he was criticized a lot, mainly because the team finished second to Barcelona in Spanish "La Liga" and lost to Arsenal in the European Champions League. However, during that season, he expanded his international presence by establishing football academies in Los Angeles and East London. During the FIFA World Cup 2006, he played for England, and became the first ever English player to score in three World Cups. In the quarter final game against Portugal, Beckham was replaced because of his injury in the middle of the game. Without him the English team lost and was knocked out of the World Cup. In June 2007 Beckham played his final game for Real Madrid, winning a medal and celebrating with his friends Tom and Katie Cruse, who attended the game. This was his fourth, and last season there, ending his contract with the club. He announced that he had signed a five-year contract to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy from July 1, 2007 through June 2012.

The 5-year deal includes up to $10 million a year in direct salary, and with merchandising endorsements and profit-sharing could earn Beckham up to $50 million a year, and may end up worth about $250 million in five years, making him one of the highest earning athletes of all time. In 2009, in a unique time share agreement David played on loan at AC Milan to maintain his fitness after ending the season with the Galaxy. He ended up staying with Milan for five months, from January to May 2009. In 2010, he also arranged to embark on a second loan spell at AC Milan from the Galaxy, to play for Milan for another five months. He said that he "genuinely enjoyed playing for Milan." In 2011, after winning his first MLS Cup, his five-year deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy ended. At that time, Beckham was invited to play for Paris Saint-Germain. But the 36-year-old player said "My family and I are incredibly happy and settled in America and we look forward to spending many more years here...

I am still passionate about playing in America and winning trophies with the Galaxy" he stated after signing another two-year contract with the Los Angeles club. In 2012, Beckham helped the Los Angeles Galaxy to retain their championship by defeating the Houston Dynamo 3-1 in the final game and winning the MLS Cup 2012. His last appearance for Los Angeles was on December 2, 2012. Beckham's jersey No 23 has been the best selling in the MLS and one of the best in the world, as he expands his image as one of sport's leading icons. Although he plays his best in the right of midfield, Beckham can be dangerous anywhere in the field and can make a difference in a big game with a pass, a cross, or a free kick. Arguably no one in the game can rival Beckham's accuracy in free kicks, as he can put that ball on a teammate's head with uncanny precision. He is still a decisive player, regardless of age. In January 2013, David Beckham signed a 5 month contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Beckhams, who have become known as "Posh and Becks", have four children: three sons - Brooklyn Joseph Beckham (born 1999, in London), Romeo James Beckham (born 2002, in London), Cruz David Beckham (born 2005, in Madrid), and daughter Harper Seven (born in 2011, in Los Angeles). - IMDb Mini Biography By: Steve Shelokhonov Spouse (1) ( 4 July 1999 - present) (4 children) Trade Mark (2) Number 7 shirt for Manchester United and England Number 23 shirt for Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy Trivia (46) Won the treble with Manchester United (Premiership, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League).

[December 2001] He began his footballing career at the age of 17. Has been dubbed a master of set-pieces specialising in free-kicks and has developed one which is known around the world as the 'Beckham', which involves lifting the ball over the 'wall', sending it towards the far post, but bending it back to the near post confusing the keeper and having the ball just dip under the bar for the goal. Scored on his first team debut in the European Cup against Galatasaray. Was signed by Manchester United to their youth training program at the age of 14. His youth team also featured the Neville brothers, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes - his current team mates.

[June 2004] In November 1996, Beckham was abroad on his first trip with the England squad, in Tbilisi, Georgia. There, he saw the video that would change his life. It was "Say You'll Be There" by the Spice Girls. Beckham pointed at the screen and said to his best friend Gary Neville that the girl dressed in a black PVC catsuit (Victoria) was the woman he wanted and if she wanted him, they would be together for ever. A few months later, they began dating. David and Victoria held a lavish, star-studded party for the christening of their two sons, Brooklyn, 5, and Romeo, 2. The ceremony was held on the grounds of the Beckhams' Hertfordshire mansion (December 23, 2004).

Was famously sent off against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup in France for retaliation. He wears a new pair of football boots for every game he plays at an estimated cost of £300 a pair.

He played for England in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups of Soccer. He was named captain for the national team in 2000 but announced his resignation from that prestigious position on 2 July 2006 (the day after England were knocked out of the 2006 World Cup).

David Beckham reveals meaning behind baby Harper Seven's name | Daily Mail Online comments After a week of speculation, David Beckham has finally revealed the reasons behind his newborn daughter Harper Seven's unusual name. Despite a long-held rumour that his wife Victoria has never read a book, the footballer said they had named their daughter after Harper Lee - the author of Posh's favourite book To Kill A Mockingbird. In a series of videos posted on his official Facebook page, the LA Galaxy player speaks about his joy as becoming a father for the fourth time. What's in a name: David Beckham explains the reasons he and wife Victoria chose Harper Seven's names in a Facebook video Inspiration: Victoria's favourite book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee Dismissing speculation they named Harper Seven off a character from Disney TV show Wizards Of Waverly Place or Harper's Bazaar magazine, David said the name had a literary meaning for them. He said: 'A lot of thought goes into our children's names and Harper was a name that we've loved for a long time for a couple of reasons.

'One reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the other reasons was Victoria's favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird and the author was Harper Lee. It's a very strong, passionate book. That's where Harper came from.' The revelation that is is Victoria's favourite book may surprise some fans, because it was widely thought she had never read a book. However in an interview six years ago, she insisted she did read books, but didn't usually get a chance to finish them due to her busy schedule. The footballer went on to admit her former shirt number 7 while he played for Manchester United and England had also played a strong part in them choosing Seven as a middle name. 'Having a daughter is a whole new thing': Beckham admitted he was getting used to the pink and lilac in the house He explained: 'And then Seven you know, a lot of people have assumed its just because of my shirt number that I wore for many years and part of it is because I had so much luck around wearing that number, wearing it for England, wearing it for Manchester United. 'It was such an influential number throughout my career and a lucky number... but that wasn't the main reason.

He said: 'To have another girl in the family is really incredible. We've got three beautiful healthy boys already and we're so lucky to have that and now to have a beautiful little girl. Day out: The pair's youngest son Cruz also accompanied the footballer at training Monkeying around: While Romeo and Brooklyn played football, Cruz seemed more interested in standing on his head 'Having a daughter is a whole new thing.

Having pink in the house, having lilac in the house... and you have to be a lot more delicate with girls than boys and I'm not used to that so it's a whole new experience. It's an amazing experience to have that little bundle of joy in your hands, making her little noises and opening their eyes, it really is an incredible moment for us.'
